Something tells me that the way this bud is shaping up is not right. Is this foxtailing? If it is why? It is the only one doing it out of six. The next picture is of the plant that should have been an auto but is a photo. It is always droopy. Whether I starve it of water or water it. When I first photographed it with questions about kind soil fill told me that it was over watered. So I cut back on the water and it still looks like this. Why? It has yet to look perky. Whether I under water or over water or whatever it looks like this.

Yes that appears to be foxtailing. Some plants just do that. But The droopy plant makes me believe it's too hot or the light is to close. Which is why I asked if it perked up at lights out. Others here can be more specific I'm sure. But usually both of what you are showing can be to much or to close lights, or temps to high.
 
No not really. They all sort of droop when the lights have been out for a little while. I read that that's a good thing but this particular plant is really getting on my nerves!
 
Yes they all lay down some at lights out. If you watch time lapse it looks like they go to sleep. But if they are really droopy they perk up some.
 
I guess I could try raising the lights but it's about 22 24 inch away from the LED. It's a 450w viparspectra. I do struggle with the Temps. In general it's been around 80° afternoon through evening. In the morning around 10:30 or 11 a.m. when I go up to check it's around 7 3, or 74. It's such a juggling act with the air conditioner in the other room.
 
@Altatup, I don't think it could be root bound. It is 1 out of 6, and it's supposed to be an auto but clearly it's a photo. There in 3 gallon smart pots. Would there be a reason that this one that is a photo would do all this wilting and all the rest of them haven't? I'm really getting frustrated here. I'm starting to rethink the wisdom of smart pots and kind soil. This one has been welting like this or drooping for several weeks now regardless of what I do. Now my second round that I have going that are about 6 weeks old are also starting to droop. 2 out of 4 are drooping and they don't seem to be dried out or overwatered. I'm getting really sick of this. The one time that I did grow two years ago, was with photos and plastic pots and with newts and never did I have any problems with drooping leaves. The flushing was a pain in the ass and having to do all the notes and measuring was really a drag. It was the only grow I ever did because my daughter was killed on the night that I harvested. But my memory of doing that grow was nowhere near the hassle that this is.
 
I appreciate your attention red wasp. I'm really stressed about other things and this is just making it worse. I'm in the middle of a wrongful death lawsuit around the person that killed my daughter. And it's a mess. Trying to have a nice enjoyable grow seems to be Out Of Reach. Not handling it well.
 
I'm not sure regarding photos that it matters what week I'm in because the plant that is drooping is in veg. It's a photo, not an auto. I'm going to keep it in veg, and I should be able to for a while now. Again when I grew before with photos, I had two mothers that were in veg for 7 months. They were 5 ft tall and thick and so beautiful. This was an indoor grow, in plastic 2 gallon pots. The medium I used was Pro mix BX. I'm just so confused. Never had a problem not that I've had a lot of experience that's for sure, but I know plants, and this is just ridiculous.
 
Greenpassion what size pot is that? I'd say if its a photo it might need more room. I don't suppose you've phd since you're not watering to run off but there might be some drainage issue preventing the roots from grabbing oxygen. I know I've seen tap roots curl around themself and other roots before in a fabric pot too. It obviously needs/wants attention. What is the ph of your water going in? I think some casting tea might fix her up of there isn't a drainage issue. Are you running 6 plants under one light? Where is the plant located and have you tried moving it to another spot under the light? That one light for 6 plants might not be ideal. I would take her outside in the day with good sun and see how she reacts. Thinking it needs more light but I could be wrong but that's what I would think. That promix is pretty much all peat and can get clumped together. My first thought is compaction and drainage issue and my second thought is not enough light. Does it perk up at all or just always drooping?
 
Chefbjy, I do pH the water. She is in a 3 gallon pot. And there are total of 7 lights there in that room. Three of them are 450w viparspectra and 4 of them are 300 watt Galaxy Pro. Since it is taller than the other Autos I did move her under a light that is higher up. I have all the lights on pulleys and adjust them accordingly. She is in a 3 gallon cloth pot. My pH going in is always between 6.5 and 6.7.
